This striking still life by Joanne Short radiates with playful colour and decorative charm. In ‘Prickly Cacti and Purple Wallpaper’, the artist brings a collection of sculptural succulents and cacti to life within a boldly patterned pot, set against an intricately stylised backdrop of purple and green geometric wallpaper.

With her unmistakable flattened perspective and jewel-toned palette, Joanne explores the visual rhythm between natural forms and decorative design. Every element — from the soft symmetry of fleshy leaves to the vertical drama of striped cactus columns — is framed by bold outlines and layered textures that sing with visual harmony.

A joyful fusion of nature and interior style, this is a compact but impactful original painting. Whether hung on its own or as part of a curated collection, it makes a bold statement — a celebration of colour, pattern, and the enduring beauty of houseplants through the artist’s distinctive lens.
